Dear Pitassi:
I have yours relative the Clarksburg
windows. Don't want you to expand
your valuable time without getting
paid. I want good glass so if you
simply cannot design the medallion
within the price go ahead with what
you can afford. Select the best
from Webbers subjects 1 for the Bl.
Lady and 2 St Joseph. but try to
make them look sifferent from those
everlasting stock emblems which are
seen everywhere and which few people
understand knowing nothing of symbolism.
Use good glass and do your best.
Not knowing amount of time required, it is hard
for me to understand why with tea windows
all from one geometrical patern, cartoony,
it would not be possible to desigh these
8 tiny and simple medallions special.
I am going to Cleveland next week and may
find it possible to drop in and see what you are doing.
Leaving here Sunday. Best Wishes, J Michael OSBTranscriber
